I am looking to move out of my HFGH (6X8). I have been reading tons of material on the internet about Greenhouses.I really like the Sunshine 8x12x10 which has a redwood frame. Does anyone here have that brand.

Here is a link that might be useful: {{gwi:310481}}

Don't have that greenhouse, but have looked at it many times on the internet. Good luck with it. And let us see some pictures when you are done.

You are the first that mentioned the 6x8 HF GH so I have few question on it. I have a 6x10 tent type that I liked real well but it is getting worn and I am moving to a different home. The size would be OK for me and what I want. How does it stand up to wind? I used steel posts and tie downs on my tent type. I have heard complaints on the other HF that the panels deteriorated..do you see any of this or does it take several years to show up? Any general comments you have on it would be appreciated. With a sale and 20% discount it is maybe cheaper for me to get one of them, rather than move my old one.
Thanks KennyP

I have a Wolf gas cooktop which is great and an AGA small dual fuel stove which is a nightmare to keep clean. If I was in the market today I'd go with a Viking duel fuel.

My pleasure to help:) If you go with sage, test it on sample boards and place against all of the walls at different times of day and with different lighting--it can appear very gray in some circumstances and may throw off the look of everything else.

You are welcome. Do you have a favorite color or color combination you want to suggest? Black and white really wants some gray in a mid-tone, and is really the most charming with yellow/dijon or turquoise (blue-green). The green/stone gray tone on the wall would better be a clear gray like sw light french gray. Red and orange are a bit harsh with black. Eggplant / raisin and geranium / rose tones can work but are a bit more challenging to integrate but work equally well and together with the grays / black and white. Add gray fabrics - gray flannel / throws, you could paint some end tables gray in a different shade than the wall . . hit the mid-tone of the range. That is one of the reasons I suggested black and white photos . . but after you select an accent color, you may select a mat in those accent tones. Maybe go art shopping first - do you find a piece of art for over the sofa that you love that has some of those predominant tones? Finally, right now if you have little ones it can be nice to have the middle open, but maybe try (in your accent color) a pair of the ottomans with a tray that can flip over as a coffee table - those can be moved about but would add color.

GH I just got to your posting. You are spending your 1,000 wisely. Just what you are doing will make a difference. One thing that I did not mention in my first post was what someone added later. I would take the time to "lightly" pressure wash the driveway. You may even have a friend with one. You don't need to rent the heavy duty one it may be too much pressure and not end up looking cleaned but streaked. Just the normal house hold model. That along with the fact your home looks so nice and well cared for will make a good first impression. I attended a seminar years back and was told that a buyer sums up your house in 10 seconds from the car....and you get fewer seconds once the front door is opened. Sad really...but I believe it! You know the old saying "you get one shot to made a good impression"....in this fast paced world with lots of choices and the internet buyers are probably even more reactive. My first impression looking at your beginning pictures was...the house looked well maintained. Now just go for the finishing touches so folks get to the front door and are anticipating the interior!!! Once again....pictures of the final result.

I have had no issues with my current hfgh. Like many people have said here that after you buy your first one you wish you had bought a bigger one. I have run out of room in the spring because of all the seeds I start in my house before I place them in the gh. Plus I would like to extend my growing season for vegetables.

I have 5 GH's, 4 are from Harbor Freight. The other is from Juliana, 6X8 Have a 6X8 FH for about 5 yrs. with no problems. Have 3 10X12's. First one went in about 3 or 4 years ago. Liked the highth if them to hang my orchids. So got another on and put them together back to back, like the doors on both ends. Now I am working on adding the 3rd HF to the other 2. So when I'm dome I will have a 10X36 GH. Have to stop adding at that point because I have no more room.( I'm getting to old to do all this work.) I've been nick named "Greenhouse Lady" in our neighborhood.

I am also thinking of buying a greenhouse (my first one) and I am coveting the 8 x 12 Sunshine Greenhouse. I can't find any reviews of it anywhere.
